This bill was introduced by a group of Democrats and faces a long road through committees. Without support from both parties, it is unlikely to move forward in the current Congress.
Key Points
- The bill requires the government to create a website where anyone can look up crimes committed by companies. This includes big corporations, small businesses, and employees acting on behalf of their companies.
- The database would list the names of the companies, their parent companies, the specific laws they broke, and the outcome of the case. It would track everything from criminal charges to settlements and fines.
- Federal agencies would be required to share their data with the Bureau of Justice Statistics. This ensures that information from different parts of the government is all in one easy to find place.
- Once the database is live, the government must update it regularly and send a yearly report to Congress. This report will explain how corporate crime affects the public and suggest ways to stop it.
